News Release Perusahaan Otomobil Nasional Sdn Bhd (100995-U) Persiaran Kuala Selangor, Seksyen 26, 40400 Shah Alam Selangor Darul Ehsan, Malaysia. T (+603) 5102 6000 F (+603) 5191 9120 News Release PROTON MARKET SHARE HITS SEVEN-YEAR HIGH - 11,873 unit sales in February equates to a market share of 27.1% - Proton X50 achieves new monthly high with 3,345 units delivered Subang Jaya, 2 March 2021 – February was a productive month for PROTON as the Malaysian automotive brand reached market highs that had not been experienced for several years. By delivering 11,873 units (domestic + export), PROTON had its best February in over a decade equivalent to an estimated market share of 27.1%, the highest for the company since September 2013. Overall, PROTON finished the month ranked second with sales nearly doubling the January 2021 total of 5,964 units. Compared to the same month in 2020, volume has grown by 19.9% though overall, the total for the first two months of the year is still 643 units or 3.5% behind last year’s cumulative total. PROTON X50 deliveries accelerate as four Proton models lead their segments PROTON launched its second SUV, the Proton X50, on 27 October 2020 and the response from Malaysians was overwhelming. Over 30,000 bookings were collected before the end of the year, but delays to the production schedule as well as focusing on build quality meant delivery times built up quickly. With 3,345 units delivered in February, a total of 8,141 units are now in the hands of buyers as supply slowly catches up to demand. This number is also the highest monthly volume ever achieved by an SUV in Malaysia and therefore makes the Proton X50 the best-selling SUV in its segment and overall. Add the 1,475 units of the Proton X70 delivered in February (the highest for a C-segment SUV), and the company sold a combined total of 4,820 SUVs, its best ever performance and the most for any brand in the country. The model with the highest sales however remained the Proton Saga. With 4,217 units delivered the A-segment sedan remains a popular choice amongst car buyers who value its combination of practicality, attractive design and value for money proposition. The sedan also spread its wings by being the first Proton model to go on sale in Kenya on 25 February, where it is locally assembled by PROTON’s partner, Simba Corporation. Other Proton models also performed well. The Proton Persona regained leadership in the B-segment sedan category by finishing the month with 1,818 units delivered, beating its highly acclaimed newer rivals in the process. The Proton Exora remained at the head of the C-segment MPV market while the Proton Iriz grabbed third place for B-segment hatchbacks. “February continued to be a difficult month for Malaysia’s automotive industry but it turned out very well for PROTON. Thanks to the efforts of the government to ensure a continuation of economic activity during the MCO, we were able to produce more cars and in so doing started to clear our backlog of orders. This is important as we need to consistently deliver on the bookings made to avoid a rush before the PENJANA incentives expire at the end of June this year. “The automotive sector continues to be vibrant with exciting new model launches sure to spark consumer interest and create healthy competition amongst PROTON and other brands, but we will continue to be cautious even as we push forward to avoid infection rates flaring up again and disrupting operations,” said Roslan Abdullah, Chief Executive Officer, Proton Edar. Page 2 of 2 PROTON MARKET SHARE HITS SEVEN-YEAR HIGH This month also saw PROTON launch four Special Edition models. The Proton Persona and Exora Black Edition as well as the Proton Saga and Iriz R3 Limited Edition were unveiled online on 18 February and are available in limited numbers. As of 26 February, 1,169 bookings have been placed from a total production run of just 3,500 units indicating strong interest from buyers. PROTON to focus on revamping after sales PROTON’s 10-year strategy required the company to completely overhaul several operational areas in order to succeed. For example, of immediate importance was to improve product quality and today, PROTON’s quality scores have improved to the point of almost matching those of its partner, Geely. The distribution network was also drastically changed and today, the company has the most 3S/4S facilities in the industry and has moved its focus to a wholesale rather than consumer driven business. These measures have been effective with PROTON posting some of the highest sales growth numbers for the industry over the last two years. This year, the focus is on the improvement of the entire after sales value chain so that customers can enjoy a premium brand experience after buying their cars. “PROTON admits that some aspects of our business have not been able to keep up with our recent successes. While we have dramatically moved forwards in product quality, brand image and the technology offered in our cars, our after sales service has not made the same leap. This situation was exacerbated in 2020 by firstly Covid-19 and then our decision to invest in a completely new back-end ordering and delivery system. “As a result, we have experienced integration issues and customers requiring accident repairs as well as regular servicing have faced delays. We are working on these issues around the clock to overcome them in the shortest time possible but for now I urge all Proton owners facing delays to please contact our customer care hotline at 1-800-88- 8398,” added Roslan Abdullah. -End- PROTON February 2021 – Individual Model Performance Model No of units sold Sales achievement for February 2021 Saga 4,217 ▪ 2nd highest volume A-segment sedan Persona 1,818 ▪ Highest volume B-segment sedan Exora 361 ▪ Highest volume C-segment MPV Iriz 650 ▪ 3rd highest volume B-segment hatchback X70 1,475 ▪ Highest volume C-segment SUV X50 3,345 ▪ Highest volume B-segment SUV and highest volume overall for SUV Total *11,873 *sales of other models not listed added to the total sales figure .

  • Automotive-200103-1Q20 Strategy (Kenanga)
    Sector Update 03 January 2020 Automotive NEUTRAL National Marques Overtaking on the Fast Lane ↔ By Wan Mustaqim Bin Wan Ab Aziz l [email protected] We maintain our NEUTRAL rating on the AUTOMOTIVE sector. The MIER consumer sentiment index scored 84.0 points (-9.0ppt QoQ, -23.5ppt YoY) in 3QCY19 which is below the optimistic threshold (>100pts) due to normalisation of consumer confidence post-tax holiday and weak macroeconomic outlook. Reflecting this, we are seeing car sales trending in favour of value-for-money national marques, as evident from their 11MCY19 TIV market share of 57%. Non-national marques on the other hand, are focusing on higher-margin lower-volume models (catering to higher purchasing power consumers). Notable developments in Automotive industry in 2019/2020 include: (i) national marques surpassing non-national marques in terms of market share, (ii) Proton has surpassed Honda as no.2 trailing behind Perodua, (iii) increasing number of new model launches, (iv) better incentives under National Automotive Policy 2020 (tentatively on 1QCY20), and (v) another OPR rate cut by 25bps (to 2.75%) in 2020, which should have minimal positive impact on vehicles loans. No changes to our 2019 TIV target of 600,000 units (+0.2%), and we introduce 2020 TIV target of 612,000 units (+2%) matching MAA’s target factoring the extra boost from national marques (Proton and Perodua). Our sector top-pick is BAUTO (OP; TP: RM2.65) for its defensible niche SUV market and attractive, steady dividend yield of 7.3%. National marques affirming leading market position . As of 11MCY19, the national marques (57%) continued to stay above non-national marques (43%) in terms of market share, marking a year not seen since 2013, owing to the outstanding sales from Perodua, especially after the introduction of its all-new Perodua Myvi and supported by the all-new Perodua Aruz (27,389 units delivered).

  • Global Trends and Malaysia's Automotive Sector
    2021-3 Global Trends and Malaysia’s Automotive Sector: Ambitions vs. Reality Tham Siew Yean ISEAS - Yusof Ishak Institute Email: [email protected] March 2021 Abstract The paper seeks to examine the development of the Malaysian automotive sector in the midst of rapid global changes in technology, consumer preferences and sustainability concerns. The sector represents a case of infant industry protection which includes, among its objectives, the state’s aspiration to nurture Bumiputera entrepreneurs as national champions for the sector. Despite close to three decades of protection, the two national car projects continue to depend on foreign partners for technology support. The National Automotive Policies (NAPs) strive to push the sector towards the technology frontier with foreign and domestic investments while seeking to be a regional hub and grooming national Bumiputera champions. The inherent conflicts in these objectives create disincentives for investments while the domestic market is held captive to the national car producers. Although policies continue to espouse grand visions, the reality is that Malaysia’s car makers continue to be inward-looking and exporting remains insignificant. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JEL Classification: O14, O25 Keywords: Automotive Sector, Industrial Policy Global Trends and Malaysia’s Automotive Sector: Ambitions vs. Reality Tham Siew Yean 1. Introduction The use of state intervention for development has been espoused in theory and practice in many countries. The World Bank (1993) study on the East Asian miracle economies is often attributed to illustrate the success of state intervention in industrial policy. However, the study itself cautions that the use of industrial policy needs to be supported with good fundamental policies, evaluation and monitoring of the support given.

T (+603) 5102 6000 F (+603) 5191 9120 News Release PROTON X70 AWARDED EXCEPTIONAL SCORES BY ASEAN NCAP - SUV awarded 5-star rating for occupant protection - Official public debut at KL International Motor Show Subang Jaya, 16 November 2018 – The Proton X70, the first SUV from PROTON, has successfully achieved a 5-star rating after being tested by the New Car Assessment Program for Southeast Asian Countries (ASEAN NCAP). Details for the latest round of ASEAN NCAP tests have been released, showing the newest Proton model sits near the top of its segment for occupant safety. Designed and manufactured to optimise occupant safety With a proven track record for manufacturing cars that obtain a 5-star ASEAN NCAP rating to defend – the Proton Iriz, Proton Persona, Proton Preve and Proton Suprima S are all 5-star rated, PROTON’s engineers and designers paid close attention to every detail to ensure the Proton X70 would obtain a high score based on the latest 2017-2020 testing protocol. Under the new protocol, safety assist technology is now taken into consideration and counts for 25% of the overall score. PROTON introduced Hot Press Forming (HPF) body structures, used to form the passenger cell of its cars, in 2012 and the same technology is one of the reasons why the Proton X70 is able to provide a high level of protection to its occupants. The HPF cell is supplemented with six airbags for all variants, ISOFIX child seat mounting points as well as seat belts with pretensioners and load limiters.

The new era of automobile Received in revised form 16 November 2016 safety is presumably come at the right time for Malaysia after the two important Accepted 25 November 2016 milestones i.e. local assembly initiative in 1960’s and the national car project in 1980’s. Available online 5 December 2016 The maturity of VTA exercise in Malaysia and the inception of ASEAN NCAP are contributing to direct and indirect pressure to car manufacturers to progressively produce safer cars. Since car pricing is driven by market competitiveness and not affected by safety upgrades, the consumers eventually would enjoy more values for their money through safer cars. In terms of car safety, the automotive ecosystem in Malaysia could as well explain the impact of NCAP in other ASEAN countries’ automotive layout. It is expected that there will be growing demand for safer vehicles and also positive response from OEMs in Malaysia and the region.

T (+603) 5102 6000 F (+603) 5191 9120 News Release PROTON TO PURSUE EXPORT MARKETS IN 2021 - Saga and SUVs to spearhead growth in export sales - Target is to double export volume in the next 12 months Subang Jaya, 29 January 2021 – Following a year that saw it successfully overcoming challenges posed by the pandemic and launching a second SUV, Malaysian car manufacturer PROTON has set its sights on growing export sales in 2021. A flurry of activity in December that included the beginning of CKD operations in Kenya and the launch of the Proton X70 in Pakistan saw export sales end the year with an increase of nearly 50% compared to domestic sales that grew by 8.8%. For the coming year, the company has set itself another challenging target of doubling export sales over 2020, assuming that export activities are not overly hampered by restrictions due to the global pandemic. Spearheading the expansion will be PROTON’s most popular model, the evergreen Proton Saga, followed by the Proton X70 and Proton X50 as they are gradually introduced to more overseas markets. Exports to power PROTON’s future The export market is a vital part of PROTON’s long-term goal to be the third best-selling automotive brand in ASEAN by 2027. While sales leadership in the domestic market will always be a main priority, the company recognises that in order to grow for the future, it needs to expand its customer base and search for sales in other countries.
